The majority of the <br />contamination is petroleum based. However, hazardous substances were identified on <br />several parcels and within the ground water in some areas. The parcels tested and <br />contamination summary map is attached. <br />23 Each grant application requires that a clean up plan is submitted and approved by the <br />Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MnPCA). There are separate requirements for <br />petroleum contamination addressed in a Development Response Action Plan (DRAP) and <br />hazardous substance contamination addressed in a Response Action Plan (RAP). The RAP <br />addresses the groundwater contamination and requires additiai��i ,����:4.�r�4� i7� to determine its <br />source and method of cleanup. A work plan is currently being prepared by AET for MnPCA <br />review. <br />2.4 The estimated budget for assessment & clean up costs associated with the 55 acres for the <br />Phase I, Stage 1 is over $8.7 million as identified on the attached cost analysis.
